The issues raised by this point would take one far from the central the...

Los Angeles , California 90095 - 1594 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA • LOS ANGELES Instability Driven Radial Transport in a Helicon Plasma

Known for their ability to produce high densities at low power, helicon discharges have found many practical uses. However, with light gases it has been found that the plasma density saturates, then falls, as the magnetic field is increased. This can be explained by the onset of a drift-type instability, whose threshold agrees well with linear theory. Measurements of radial and axial particle f...
